A fuel cell system ( 1 ) including at least one fuel cell ( 2 ) having a cathode area ( 3 ) and an anode area ( 4 ) is disclosed. The cathode area ( 3 ) and the anode area ( 4 ) have feed conduits ( 31, 41 ) and discharge conduits ( 32, 42 ). Downstream of the anode area ( 4 ) and the cathode area ( 3 ), a junction ( 12 ) of the discharge conduits ( 32, 42 ) is provided. The junction ( 12 ) fluidically communicates with an area ( 13 ) which includes a material that is catalytically active with respect to a reaction of a fuel for the fuel cell ( 2 ) with an oxidant for the fuel cell ( 2 ). The feed conduit ( 31 ) leading to the cathode area ( 3 ) is configured in such a manner that it fluidically communicates with the cathode area ( 3 ) in at least two different sites ( 19, 20 ) in each of the fuel cells ( 2 ). A humidifying device ( 16 ) is provided in the feed conduit ( 41 ) leading to the anode area ( 4 ).
